Yes - I've seen this boat. It's well cared for and is priced at about 1/2 (or less) of what the same would cost new without the extensive upgrades. Joe didn't mention this in his post but he also modified the FloatOn trailer to allow the boat to be easily launched by a travel lift.

I would say the price for what you get with this package is very good. If anyone is on the fence about getting one of these boats, this one at that price with 175's and that trailer is a great deal. Especially considering a brand new TomCat is now $286,000!

| I need educating here: What is a float on trailer. All the many boats I've ever owned I flowed onto. I see folks at the dock winching and winching and winching, not me. I back in until the tow vehicles tires are just touching the water and then I drive or float the boat right on. Never heard of my trailers referred to a float on trailers. So this must have a deeper meaning the way you use the term??? |

Lots of places, driving the boat onto the trailer (called power loading) is prohibited because it damages the ramp (causes erosion). Fines can be involved. |

never heard of that. I simply have the trailer at the correct depth and enter the boat at dead slow speed and it stops when the bow touches the front post. There is no touching of the ramp or dock. No gunning it like the New Yorkers do and the winch is only there when I tighten it a bit for the ride home. It all happens most peacefully. Of course it was a larger Carolina Skiff and not a CD. But I imagine it's all the same.
I'll have to check with the local DNR and see what their concern is. Thanks for the heads up, don't need a summons. |
